The Decentralized Finance (Defi) market Ballon on Monday to a highlight of three years of $ 153 billion, stimulated by ETH’s Ascent to $ 4,000 and considerable inflow into recovering protocols.
Defillama data shows that the increase in inflow and asset prices last week has increased the sector above its high from December 2024 to the highest point since May 2022, at the time of $ 60 billion collapse of Do Kwon’s Terra Network.
TVL over all block chains (Defillama)
ETH has risen 60% from $ 2,423 to $ 3,887 during the PAT 30 days after a wave of institutional investments, including a $ 1.3 billion treasury investment from Sharplink Gaming and the acquisition of $ 2 billion from Bitmine.
Ethereum still recommends the monopoly over defic total value locked (TVL) by 59.5% of all capital that is locked on the chain, the majority of which can be attributed to Liquid STACKing Protocol Lido and Lending Platform Aave, both of which have between $ 32 billion and $ 34 billion in TVL.
The revenue -retiring battle
Institutions that acquire assets such as Ether is part of the comparison, the other protects a yield on top of that investment.
Investors can use ETH directly and earn a modest annual yield between 1.5% and 4%, or they can still go one step further and use a repeated protocol, that the native yield and a liquid act that can be used elsewhere in the Defieco system for extra yield.
X user Olimpiocrpto revealed a more complex strategy that can protect an annual return of up to 25% with USDC and SUSDC with low risk and full liquidity. It is assets between Euler and Spark on Unichain: users deliver USDC to Euler, borrow SUSDC, deliver it again and repeat. Incentives from Spark (SSR + on Rewards) and Euler (USDC subsidies, Reul) Boost -return.
A simpler but less profitable alternative starts by mulping SUSDC via Spark and looping with USDC Borrow/Lend on Euler. Despite onion discrepancies, both methods are reportedly yielding a strong return, probably about a week, unless the stimuli change.
Solana and other blockchains
Although much of the attention is understandably on the Ethereum network, the Solana TVLa has grown by 23% to $ 12 billion last month, with protocols such as Sanctum, Jupiter and Marinade that all perform better than the broader Sol -Eco system with considerable inflow, according to Defillama.
Investors have also deposited capital in Avalanche and Sui, both of which have risen 33% and 39% respectively in terms of TVL respectively. The Bitcoin -Defi Ecosystem has risen more, with only 9% to $ 6.2 billion, despite a recent ride to new record highs at $ 124,000.
